Little City by the Lake (Little House)

Rating:
Summary: Missing the family
Review: Charming book, but I thought it was missing some of the heart of earlier Caroline books. I thought the author did a great job with researching the period and capturing what it could have possibly been like to be a 15 year old in Milwaukee.

Summary: Best of the Little House Series
Review: This is such an enjoyable read, definitely the best of the "Caroline years," and maybe even my favorite of the whole Little House series. Unlike many of the hard-time pioneering stories, this one takes a bit of a lighter turn as Caroline goes to live in the "big" city with her aunt and uncle. The city is filled with many new sights and "modern conveniences"--even indoor plumbing--and new experiences such as dances, restaurants, and an all-girls school where Caroline studies to be a teacher. I can't wait for another book in the series to be published, so I can see what happens next!
